Let them prefer nothing whatever to Christ.
"Each must do as already determined, without sadness or compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver." 2 Cor 9:7
Every day, the monks of Saint Andrew Abbey show their care for others in a way that transcends words. Your support will enable them to continue the noble work that has been their vocation for centuries.
The monks of St. Andrew Abbey are dedicated to prayer, work, and service to the community. They offer a community for those seeking a way of life that is anchored in the ancient monastic tradition. Without your help, their work would not be possible. Below are various ways that you can continue to support the success of the monks of St Andrew Abbey.
Cash contributions may be made by check, money order or credit card through one gift or installments. All you have to do is set up a monthly or annual payment plan with us and we take care of the rest. We'll make sure to send you reminders on when your payments are due, and if for any reason you need to make changes, we'll make sure everything runs smoothly.
Matching contributions to a nonprofit, you can donate a percentage of a paycheck each week or month to a charity of your choice. Matching contributions from employers are usually tax deductible to the company and the employee, and you'll get an instant tax deduction from your contribution.
These can be extremely advantageous. Appreciated securities contribution values are determined by the average fair market value of the stock on the date the gift is transferred, provided the securities were owned for more than one year. Additionally, the donor incurs no capital gains tax on direct transfer of securities to Benedictine Order of Cleveland. Note, as a general rule, it is more advantageous to sell the depreciated securities and donate the proceeds to charity. For more information on how to make a transfer of stock, please contact Chris Lorber at [email protected] or 216-721-5300 ext. 246.
Matching gift programs allow you to double, and in some cases triple your gift to Benedictine Order of Cleveland. Please contact your employer to see what matching gifts may be available.
Gifts of real estate may provide a convenient way to support the Abbey. Such gifts may be contributed outright as a deferred gift; here the donor can gift their home while retaining life tenancy. Note that some gifts of property may require approval of the Benedictine Order of Cleveland, and the donor will be asked to provide a qualified appraisal for property gifts valued at $5,000 or more plus a Phase 1 environmental survey for gifts of real estate, both at the donor’s expense.
Many of the planned giving opportunities available to donors are listed below. Planned gifts are usually larger and made during a donor’s lifetime, or estate contributions that donors may make through wills, trusts, gift annuities, insurance policies or gift arrangements.
Most of the planned gift vehicles available can provide cost-saving benefits to you as well as a meaningful gift to the monks here at the Abbey. For additional information on any of the items below, please contact Chris Lorber, 216-721-5300 ext. 246 or [email protected].
